My age is 22 years. I am facing severe acne problems. Due to the acne my face looks like an older person's face.

Acne can be a problem throughout adulthood. If washing your face daily doesn't solve the problem, then you should try something stronger.

Acne is caused by three factors: your growing skin produces oils to keep the surface flexible, your skin also sheds dead cells so your skin is constantly renewing itself, and bacteria love the free food. The oils and skin cells tend to plug the oil glands, which then swell and look ugly. Bacteria get trapped under the plug and and have a free for all, which causes your skin to swell and redden as your body tries to battle the bacteria.

There are three basic products to help the situation:

1) Soap is the first line of defense. It removes excess oil and skin cells, and it kills off a lot of bacteria. So keeping your skin washed will help a lot. The problem is that it is hard to control how much oil you are removing and it can cause the skin to become overly dry.

2) Cleansing products with salicylic acid or glycolic acid soften and help remove excess skin cells. Fewer free skin cells means fewer clogs. Many people, however, find these mild acids to be irritating. Instead of using it everywhere, it is better to use it in spots where the acne is worse.

3) Products containing benzoyl peroxide kill bacteria on the surface of your skin. While it can't stop the plugs, it can keep them from getting red and swollen. You can find it in a 2.5% and a 10% solution. The 2.5% is actually adequate. Many people find the 10% solution irritating to their skin. This product should be used carefully as it will bleach out many dyes in various types of fabrics.

Generally you will have to experiment to figure out how much, how often, and where you need various products to get good results.

If none of these work, the next step would be to see a dermatologist. A dermatologist specializes in the skin and can recommend treatments specifically targeted at your particular problems.
